but his title. II is bestowed in Turkey upon

The dead Eflendi came here Is or 20 years
ago as attache of the Turkish legation. He
was then very handsome youth, with a clear,
olive complexion and dark, lustrous eyes over
which the ladies used 10 rave. As a strict Mus
sulman he always wore on the street the dis
tnctiye red fez Of his people and religion. I'M
fortunately FOR him, lac was not so strict in ad-
herring TO the Koran's precepts in regard TO alb
stinence from Intoxicating liquors. He fell in
with the FAST set of the clubs here, and became
one OF the fastest. which is saving much. When
deep in las cups he would forget all the Eng
lsh that be over knew-which was none too
much - eXcept Turk Legaishe" which he
would repeat over and over. AT such times he
would lapse into an incoherent mixture of
French ana some other tongue, probably Turk
ish. One OF his foi bles at such times was 30 inn
agine that hc had nsulted some one and spend
the rest OF the evening explaining apolOg.zing
and attempting TO cares the ailrontod one liz
may be imagined how wcarisome this sort Of
thing became. He soon lost the beauty of face
and form which distinguished him in his youth.
and became fat and ungrac,ful. A chronic dis
ease also developt he was prominent figure
on all diplomatic occasions, where his dress at
tracted much attention. lie was popular in
certain ways among his diplomatic associates
and the ircquenters of clubs. He was attacked
by fever which speedily carried him Off His
body was embalmod and temporarily inferred
i'm the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery, where il
will remain until Il can be sent to his home in
Turkey. The funeral was conducted by an
Episcopal clergyman, aud the pail bearers were

TREATY WITH GUATEMALA.
The Department of State has concluded
treaty with Guatemala, which il is claimed is
the initial step OF the policy TO be observed to-
ward all countries with regard 10 the exUradi.
tiOn of criminals. The cxtradition treaty with
the Central American Republic like the rest Of
such conventions, provides for the extraditon
of persons guilty Of such general y recognized
crimes as murder, burglary, robbery, arson,
counterfcting, etc. An additional article"
as u Is called, has been agreed upon, which is
IN the following language: " Neither Govern
ment shall be required TO deliver up It's own
citizens under the stipulations of this COnVen-
ton" The State Department explains the
meaning of this TO be that this Government
may refuse TO deliver up its citizens to the
Guatemalan Government If il has reason to be-
heye that they viii he subjected to modes OF
trial aud punishment unknown TO our laws
and held IA adherence alike by the people and
the Government of the United States" The
adoption OF this article has grown out Of the
Cniting affair, whore, IL viii be remembered

Department Of State will probably seek to have
similar amendments made 10 its extraditio
